I have teenage children who are beginning to move towards adulthood, and I want them to be proud of Vance County, to be excited to live here, and be able to earn a good living working here. But, I just don't want this for only my kids, I want every parent and their children also. So I am motivated to run for Sheriff, because I'm personally invested in the future of Vance County. What distinguishes you from other candidates? I'm the only candidate in the race who has the combination of education, training, and experience to turn the crime rate around. I have a well developed platform, and I have identified key individuals who will help me implement my plans. Also, I have a strong relationships with the Henderson Police Department command staff, state and federal agencies, and community leaders. I will build an effective team and unify everyone on the goal of stopping the senseless killings and attacking the destructive heroin drug dealing that is taking so many lives from our community. …show more content…

The single most important skill a successful Sheriff should have is the ability to communicate with the citizens. As I campaign for Sheriff I will let everyone know that I am available for them to reach out to speak to me no matter the situation.

    The reason for this pick, I believe, that we forget why we are here, for example, the focus quite often is on the offenders, and the victim/witness’s often leave the court with the memories that will never leave them, they are forever scarred. The biggest challenge I would be faced with, is the lack of resources that are available to the victims/witness’s, in the end, it all comes down to dollars. Therefore, my approach to advance the solution to this problem, would be through public awareness, reaching out to the community leaders and the public, thereby, providing a deeper awareness to this problem. The squeaky wheel gets the oil, therefore, I would be the squeaky

    Personally Saturday nights are my favorite, and I followed the same routine every weekend. So why would this weekend be any different? My room felt cozy as I looked up time to time to see my twinkling Christmas lights I leave up all year. I loved how the sweet scent of vanilla filled up the plain air of my bedroom. Wearing my biggest sweatshirt that dangled at my fingertips, I sat on my bed leaning comfortably on my pillows. Every now and then, the sound of a notification would break the sound of silence. This is how I preferred my Saturday nights to be.

    “Before new chiefs can set a path for a new vision, they must have a clear understanding of the past. A police department’s organizational culture is a deeply ingrained, personal aspect of its functioning that must not be trivialized. Years of hard work and dedication by scores of individuals went into the creation of that culture, and it must be respected. However, if the culture is no longer in step with the expectations of the community, then changes must be made. Changes for the future must be carefully crafted to achieve the desired goal without disregarding the past. New chiefs can best accomplish this task by first listening to the variety of individuals that represent the stakeholders for their departments. Gaining input is important to obtaining an understanding of the values and expecta...

Recently here in Nashville, Tennessee (Alund & Sawyer, 2017) we were faced with an officer involved shooting of a suspect who evaded, possessed a loaded weapon, and fought up until the point the officer felt an immense fear for his safety and the safety of the community so unfortunately he was left with no alternative. Unfortunately, the victim passed in surgery. The suspect was later found to be driving on a revoked driver’s license, serving an 8-year probation for drug

    Community oriented policing has been around for over 30 years, and promotes and supports organizational strategies to address the causes, and reduce the fear of crime and social disorder through problem solving tactics. The way community policing works is it requires the police and citizens to work together to increase safety for the public. Each community policing program is different depending on the needs of the community. There have been five consistent key elements of an effective community oriented policing program: Adopting community service as the overarching philosophy of the organization, making an institutional commitment to community policing that is internalized throughout the command structure, emphasizing geographically decentralized models of policing that stress services tailored to the needs of individual communities rather than a one-size-fits-all approach for the entire jurisdiction, empowering citizens to act in partnership with the police on issues of crime and more broadly defined social problems, for example, quality-of-life issues, and using problem-oriented or problem-solving approaches involving police personnel working with community members.
